Think about the word “news.” In a moment, I’m going to ask you more questions about the news. Before that, though, you probably heard about the terrible terrorist attack in Istanbul, Turkey. Dozens killed, scores injured. “It was like hell,” one witness recalled.

Someone you know is PERFECT for this book.

As teachers use national curricula, national assessments, and ‘guiding’ students in common education goals (regardless of where the students are developmentally) via Regional Professional Development Centers designed to assist […]

Pat Buchanan and George Will have a lot in common, but they’re very different, too. They’re both conservative writers and journalists. But Buchanan’s an activist while Will is a passivist. (New word?) Let me explain.

If you have been around Missouri conservative politics for any length of time you have likely met and mingled with Mary Hill. She has traveled to the far corners of the state advocating for Right-to-Work legislation. Along the way she has gained a following and considerable influence. She has demonstrated the power of grassroots to […]

I don’t like Trump. I still haven’t resolved for whom I am voting in November.

When the BBC called Brexit for LEAVE at about 12:30 a.m. CDT today, I thought first of my friend Mike Flynn. Mike had a keen sense of history. He put the Tea Party movement into proper perspective, as he did with all events. Mike kept us from overstating both the Tea Party’s effect and its potential. Or he put them in context and reminded us that our potential depends on ourselves, not outside forces.

Last fall, now-presumptive Democrat nominee Hillary Clinton said “she supported allowing cities and states to tax online purchases” though Reuters noted at the time “she would not mandate it.” Her position mirrors that of the Senate-passed Marketplace Fairness Act, which would allow states to impose taxes on online sales in a way that favors their local businesses over out-of-state firms that have no representation in the taxing state.

Yesterday, presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump appeared to embrace Clinton’s position on the internet sales tax,
